BUILT FOR DUTY
Engineered for Heavy Duty-Gear Loadouts
Patrol LC is the overt, laser-cut bulletproof vest for law enforcement and security officers who carry their gear on their chest. The laser-cut platform mounts a full pouch loadout flat and secure, four zipped pockets and shoulder mounts keep essentials within reach, and NIJ.06 Level IIIA armor underneath up-armors with 10×12" rifle plates when the call demands it. It's built around how modern duty officers actually rig their kit.
SCALABLE PROTECTION
From Patrol to Rifle Threats — One Vest
Wear Patrol LC as a lightweight Level IIIA load-bearing vest for everyday patrol, then drop in 10×12" hard armor plates front and back to step up to rifle-rated protection in seconds. One platform that scales with the threat — routine patrol, security detail, or active-shooter response — so you buy one vest instead of three.

HIGHLIGTHED FEATURES
[01]
Multi-Threat Ballistic Defense
Independently lab-tested to NIJ.06 Level IIIA — stops 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Magnum, .357 Sig, .45 GAP, and .44 Magnum. The handgun threats officers face on patrol, stopped cold. Choose from three armor panels: PE-X or Flexcore for Level IIIA ballistic protection, or Anti-Stab for Level IIIA ballistic protection plus multi-threat stab and edged-blade resistance.
[02]
Laser-Cut Load-Bearing Platform
The laser-cut front and back panels mount MOLLE-compatible pouches flat and rock-solid — holding a full rack of mags, cuffs, med, and comms gear without the sag or bulk of stitched webbing. It's the modern duty platform for officers who carry their kit on their chest.
[03]
Streamlined, Low-Bulk Duty Profile
The laser-cut construction trims weight and bulk while keeping full load-bearing capability — so a heavily-equipped vest still sits trim against the body. Space-mesh interior adds ventilation and antimicrobial protection across a full 12-hour shift.
[04]
Your Gear, Right Where You Reach For It
Two zipped 5×6" pockets and two deeper 7×6" pockets stow ID cards, traffic templates, handcuffs, pens, and gloves. A center tab between the upper pockets mounts a radio or camera, both shoulders carry attach points, and built-in metal grommets take pin-on clasp-back badges — your kit, set up your way.

Patrol LC Bulletproof Vest — Level 3A Laser-Cut Police Duty Body Armor
Very impressed with this vest. The construction and materials are high quality - rugged and confidence inspiring. Do consult the sizing guide and take measurements, anticipate sizing with armor.

Patrol LC Bulletproof Vest — Level 3A Laser-Cut Police Duty Body Armor
The patrol laser cut outer carrier is a very nice carrier with 4 zip pockets and a ton of molle area for your gear along with Velcro areas for your ID patches. Only thing I had to do was alter one side to get my front panel to fit properly, but other then that it's a very comfortable outer carrier and gave me a ton of space to move my gear off my hips and up on to my outer carrier. Will be buying another one and possibly a different one to hold my rifle plates.

Patrol LC Bulletproof Vest — Level 3A Laser-Cut Police Duty Body Armor
Ace Link has the best customer service, in my opinion, I've ever dealt with. Their product is well made, and so far very durable! Sizes do run a little small, so make sure you get the size bigger! I had an issue with the size of my vest. It was slightly too small, and Ace Link was quick to respond to my request and even allowed me to keep in my possession the vest that I was wearing for safety reasons, until I received my new vest and carrier arrives. They quick in their turn around time. I also received my new vest in 3 day's! I'm impressed!!

Patrol LC Bulletproof Vest — Level 3A Laser-Cut Police Duty Body Armor
I REALLY LOVE THIS PLATE CARRIER, FOR FORM AND FIT. ALLOWS EASY ACCESS TO DUTY BELT, EASY TO DON AND DOFF. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS THE COLLAR IS A LITTLE STIFF AND IT CHAFS UNDER MY CHIN SOMETIMES. NICE POCKETS AND WEBBING FOR ATTACHING MOLLE.
